Good to see that the Thames Path is included in the Independent’s 50 Best Winter Walks in the Christmas Eve issue.
The section highlighted is Richmond to Hampton Court and was chosen by panel member Juliette Dyke who lives in the area and says the seven mile stretch is “packed with history, culture and gorgeous scenery”.
It’s an interesting spread of walks across Britain.
The judging team includes Sarah Spencer of Cicerone.
Leading actor and resident Sir Patrick Stewart has given his views on Chambers Wharf being used by Thames Water to construct the super sewer tunnel.
